Yanukovych notes importance of economy modernization

The President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych noted the importance of modernization of all sectors of the Ukrainian economy to ensure the accelerated development of our state. 

"We can say that for many years we have tried to do conditional, routine repairs. However, our home has not become stronger and better, but instead continued to age. Sooner or later we have to begin major repairs. That's what we did - have begun to modernize our country," he said at the meeting in Donetsk dedicated to the Miner’s Day, the President’s press office reports.

According to Yanukovych, this is a difficult path, but it needs to be passed. "Modernization gives a vision of future of the country, our future and our children's future. In times of crisis, it makes it possible to survive," the President added.
